Burnt and Bitter Oranges
When they eventually found her suspended
in sepia like that
The years no longer seemed to matter at all
She was important
for a micro-moment and not a moment more
Yet the taste and the smell
of her did linger, like burnt and bitter oranges
against the very fabric
of his hungry, sore and swollen throat …

That sounds really painful … not being able to fully move away from something … almost makes me think of feeling a sense of feeling trapped . Just how I read it anyway
I can’t say I fully understand this but you seem to be trying to say a lot in just a few lines
One of the joys about this craft of ours means that one doesn't need to have an instantaneous understanding of what is being said or asked within a particular work .. I guess all art and art forms are open to interpretation .. and hey, get this, absolutely no one can argue with anyone else's interpretation ......... I appreciate your honesty tho' ................................ Neville
Your right … things can be interpreted in different ways ,..
Old pictures viewed in today's mode must have seemed to perpetuate people yet traits remembered bring back even the taste and smell of someone much missed - - at least I think that is the message behind this intriguing read - - well perhaps maybe......x
Fay , I was almost thinking that this was about someone who was missed but I just felt a little unsure how to interpret some of the lines . .
Uncannily close you canny young filly ................................................... 🙂 bless you dear Fay, sometimes it seems you can see write through me ........................ maybe x
Sounds like the mummy has been found, and her importance has been lost in time.
Ya know what, you could have summat there Paul ............................................. Neville 🙂
Ha - Great minds think alike they say - and this young filly's eyes like the uncanny when she is nearly right.......x
nearly write is good enough for this old fella .................................................................... x
Should I meet her?!
Best not maybe .................................. 🙂
Mystery leads the mind to conjour a story..... plenty of meat here to construct a very strangely framed tale....
. ...... bergamot taunts the air
I think you have just got a lot warmer DA ................... and I do so love bergamot .. N
Me thinks you tickled the MPS’s uvula, devilishly teasing, engaging, meaning left to interpretation
You can beat an egg, a drum and a carpet .. but you just can't beat a uvula now can ya ... All acronyms & interpretations are on the house so feel free to have a bash ........................................... Many thanks for the visit and the chuckle Suresh .. Much needed and appreciated ......... Neville

You’re most welcome, my dear poet!🤗🌻
Intriguing words Neville, it is like an abstract artwork where you really have to look deeply into it to find a meaning within yourself - I like abstract works of art so thank you.
